ARCHITECTURE & BASIC DESIGN
Collector’s House: Illusion, was the first Architecture Design excecise. The flatplane cutout simulates a conventional house on the main facade. One directly
enters into a lift through the main door and is taken underground into the adjacent
swimming pool which infact, is the actual residence.
Expeience Space: Air, Light & Water, a Pavillion suspended in a gorge using high
tension cables. Profiled like an aerofoil(wing section), blowing winds gently
levitate the pavillion.
Street Intervention: Paver Block Installation, a public
recreation space for the customers of street vendors.
Basic Design, remodelling an object into planes, and
ridding it of it’s identity through transformation.
The Lost Heirloom, recreating a missing heirloom.

ARCHITECTURE DESIGN
The Hamam Centre, reviving the only hamam in Mumbai at Mohammed Ali Rd.
Ferry Station, at the island Majuli amidst the mighty Brahmaputra. Three
objects from site were appointed. Interchanging the properties of these led to
unexpected juxtapositions, pushing towards the use of of surreal techniques.
Exploing the property of a bell by using it to find way at a crowded station.
Exquisite corpse to create an autonomous montage and woking out a plan
from it. Taking snaps from a video of a flicking penil to achieve a form where
something rock solid(steel trusses)starts liquifying into something malleable.

INTERIOR & GRAPHIC DESIGN
Newspaper Galli, looking for deteriorated cracks in the city.
Hostel Room Redesign, for the client, a nature loving person, who loves to doodle. Thus the
unifying theme of the design was squiggly doodle-lines across the walls.
Fringe Films, are handmade films using blank film-reels and drawing individual frames x24 to
create motion at 24fps(frames per second)
The Farnsworth House & Anamorphica, using multiple viewpoints & projection in graphics to
create highly accurate perspectives. Exploiting these techniques to create 3D illusion street art.

MEASURE DRAWING: MAJULI, ASSAM
The island of majuli is the largest river island in india. It is home to
established vaishnavite monasteries on the island known as satras.
There is heavy silting of the island by the Brahmaputra, and the entire island
will be submerged in a couple of decades.
This makes the measure drawing & documentation of the island immensly
important.
The assam government is now proposing majuli as a world heritage site and
has begun improvements to infrastructure accordingly.

ARCHITECTURE
DESIGN
Crematorium, Wai, Maharashtra
The city of Wai is traditionally known for its beautiful Ghats. However, excessive
pollution has been making Garbage, the new landscape of Wai.
The programme given was a Crematorium, a place of soul purification.
Thus, the idea of a Bi-Functional Institute developed with the addition of a
Water Treatment Plant below the crematorium.
Eventually, observed certain parallels betweem the Soul & Riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey and
used them metaphorically to evolve an end design.

ARCHITECTURE
DESIGN
Indian High Commisson, Colombo, Sri Lanka
Observing the built form along the prime administrative road, each building
is starkly cut off from the public. The concern here is the loss of quality
architecture in the name of security.
Walls became a running language through the embassy; physical walls, mental
walls, visual walls, semi-permeable walls, each one appropriately placed
between the three programs:
The Chancery(Private)
The Visa Section(Semi Public)
The Cultural Annexe(Public)

HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE
A comprehensive analogy was made between the North & South Indian style
of Temple Architecture using the Elephanta Caves & Raja Rani Temple as
examples.

Institution Design, Ulhasnagar

Studying of the institutes of Ulhasnagar, it is noted that the existing situation is quite
haphazard. There are several scattered institutions of the same typology functioning
separately. There are many others, the citizens are unfamiliar with.
Parallel to this, occurs a disjunct between the North & South side of the city through the Ulhas River.
This gives birth to the Bridge Building typology, which unites the disintegrated institutes to each other, and
simultanously creates multiple links between the two banks.
There is a play across the buildings in form-program heirarchy of bridge v/s institute.

ARCHITECTURE DESIGN

Omni Housing, Boisar

Designing for Affordable Housing in the fringes of the city, in no manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land with a given
FSI of 1.5.
Playing with dimensions of house, providing a linear house creates easier design
solutions for light & ventilation.
Idea of shared services brought on the table where a person can avoid the extra
pay, and instead, opt for common kitchens/bathrooms.
Thus customization is available of a great variety with options like 1RK, 1 BHK,
1BH, 2BHK, 2BH, etc.
Alternate stacking strategy employed to maintain building height to open space
proportions & terraces create street experiences on higher levels.

Manifesto Ulhasnagar, a manifesto in the form of a
comic narrative, pointing out all the issues with the
current fabric of institutes within Ulhasnagar.

DESIGN DISSERTATION (ONGOING)
There is a vision of making the city of Mumbai a world-class city, a
centre for global business trade. The current business districts are
all located towards south bombay and this space is now congested.
Thus new Central Business Districts (CBDs) have now been cropping
up all over the city, Bandra, Navi Mumbai, Malad, and beyond.
These recent transformations in the city have been generating
spaces in which different social groups are close to one another
but yet completely separated. The main instrument for this new
pattern of spatial segregation is â&#x20AC;&#x153;fortified enclavesâ&#x20AC;?. They promote

separateness and the idea that social groups should live in
homogenous enclaves, isolated from those perceived as different.
In a city fragmented by fortified enclaves, it becomes difficult to
maintain the principles of openness and free circulation; the
character of public space changes, as does the participation in
public life. Public Space no longer relates to the modern ideals of
commonality and universality.
One such exclave is the CBD MindSpace, in Malad.This

Power, Control & Spatial Repression

power is excercised through a palette of techniques that
are meant to maintain this exclusivity. These techniques
vary from micro to the macro, and when employed
comprehensively, create a Spatial Repressor around a context.

complicated designs, such as that of Tensile & Shell structure.
